I will always have fond memories of Stirling as a place with beautiful surroundings, where I completed a degree in something I loved, met lots of new people, and worked with a great team of teaching and support staff.

What is most attractive about this course are the multiple opportunities for field modules, the trip to the Cairngorms National Park in autumn, as well as the Tropical Ecology and Conservation field course in Lope National Park in Gabon, Africa module in the Spring semester.
